DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following detailed description, reference is made to theaccompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and which show by way ofillustration specific embodiments as broadly described herein. In thedrawings, the thicknesses or sizes of respective layers may beexaggerated, omitted, or schematically illustrated for convenience andclarity of description. Further, the sizes of respective elements do notnecessarily denote the actual sizes thereof. Moreover, the same orsimilar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals wheneverpossible even though they may be depicted in different drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a light emitting device package 100 in accordancewith an embodiment as broadly described herein may include a main body110, a first reflective cup 122, a second reflective cup 124, aconnection pad 126, light emitting devices 132 and 134, a zener diode150, and wires 152, 154, 156, 158 and 159.

The main body 110 may be made of a material such as, for example, one ofa resin, such as polyphthalamide (PPA), silicon (Si), a metal,photo-sensitive glass (PSG), sapphire (Al2O3), and a printed circuitboard (PCB). In certain embodiments, the main body 110 is made of aresin, such as polyphthalamide (PPA). The main body 110 may be made of aconductor. If the main body 110 is made of a conductive material, aninsulating film may be formed on the surface of the main body 110 so asto prevent an electrical short of the main body 110 with the firstreflective cup 122, the second reflective cup 124 and the connection pad126.

An upper surface 106 of the main body 110, as seen from the top, mayhave various shapes, such as, for example, a triangle, a rectangle, apolygon, a circle, or other shape as appropriate, according to purposesand designs of a particular light emitting device package. For example,the light emitting device package 100, as shown in FIG. 1, may be usedin an edge-type backlight unit (BLU). If, for example, the lightemitting device package 100 is applied to a portable flashlight or ahome lighting apparatus, the main body 110 may be modified so as to havea size and a shape that may be easily installed within the portableflashlight or the home lighting apparatus.

The main body 110 may include a cavity 105 (hereinafter, referred to asa “main body cavity”). The upper portion of the cavity 105 may be open,and may include side surfaces 102 and a bottom 103. The main body cavity105 may have a cup shape or a concave container shape, and the sidesurfaces 102 of the main body cavity 105 may be perpendicular or tiltedwith respect to the bottom 103. Other arrangements may also beappropriate.

The shape of the main body cavity 105, as seen from the top, may be acircle, an oval, a polygon (for example, a rectangle), or other shape asappropriate. In certain embodiments, the corners of the main body cavity105 may be curved. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the shape of themain body cavity 105, as seen from the top, is essentially an octagon,and the side surfaces 102 of the main body cavity 105 include eightplanes. Four of the eight planes may be referred to as first planes thatform the side surfaces 102 of the main body cavity 105 facing therespective corners of the main body 110, and the remaining four planesmay be referred to as second planes that form elongated side surfaces102 of the main body cavity 105 extending between the first planes. Anarea of the first planes is less than an area of the second planes. Theshape of the opposite planes among the first planes and the secondplanes can be the same. The area of the opposite planes among the firstplanes and the second planes can be equal. In another embodiment, theside surfaces 102 of the main body cavity 105 can include less thaneight planes, and some of the planes can be a curved surface, which canbe opposite each other.

The first reflective cup 122 and the second reflective cup 124 may bepositioned within the main body 110 under the bottom 103 of the mainbody cavity 105 such that the first and second reflective cups 122 and124 are separated from each other by a portion of the bottom 103 of themain body cavity 105. The first reflective cup 122 may be depressed fromthe bottom 103 of the main body cavity 105 with the upper portion of thefirst reflective cup 122 being open.

For example, a first cavity 162 may be formed in the bottom 103 of themain body cavity 105, with an upper portion of the first cavity 162being open. The first cavity 162 may include side surfaces and a bottom,and the first reflective cup 122 may be positioned within the firstcavity 162.

The second reflective cup 124 may be separated from the first cavity 162and also depressed from the bottom 103 of the main body cavity 105, withan upper portion of the second reflective cup 124 being open. Forexample, a second cavity 164 may be formed in the bottom 103 of the mainbody cavity 105, with the upper portion of the second cavity 164 beingopen. The second cavity 164 may include side surfaces and a bottom, andthe second reflective cup 124 may be positioned within the second cavity164. The second cavity 164 may be separated from the first cavity 162 bya portion of the bottom 103 of the main body cavity 105 located betweenthe first reflective cup 122 and the second reflective cup 124, whichseparates and isolates the first reflective cup 122 and the secondreflective cup 124 from each other.

The first cavity 162 and the second cavity 164, as seen from the top,may have a cup shape or a concave container shape, and the side surfacesthereof may be perpendicular or tilted with respect to the bottomsthereof. Other arrangements may also be appropriate.

At least a portion of each of the first reflective cup 122 and thesecond reflective cup 124 may pass through the main body 110 and beexposed to the outside of the main body 110. Since at least a portion ofeach of the first reflective cup 122 and the second reflective cup 124is exposed to the outside of the main body 110, efficiency with whichheat generated by the first light emitting device 132 and the secondemitting chip 134 is emitted to the outside of the main body 110 may beimproved.

For example, one end 142 of the first reflective cup 122 may passthrough a first side surface of the main body 110 and be exposed to theoutside. Similarly, one end 144 of the second reflective cup 124 maypass through a second side surface of the main body 110 and be exposedto the outside. The first side surface and the second side surface ofthe main body 110 may be opposite each other, or otherwise positioned asappropriate.

The first reflective cup 122 and the second reflective cup 124 may bemade of a metal material, such as, for example, silver, gold, copper, orother material, or may be made of a metal plated therewith. The firstreflective cup 122 and the second reflective cup 124 may be made of thesame material as the main body 110, and be integrated with the main body110. Alternatively, the first reflective cup 122 and the secondreflective cup 124 may be made of a different material from the mainbody 110, and be formed separately from the main body 110. In certainembodiments, the first reflective cup 122 and the second reflective cup124 may be symmetrical with regard to the connection pad 126 in terms ofshape and size. The connection pad 126 may be formed within the mainbody 110 under the bottom 103 of the main body cavity 105 such that theconnection pad 126 is separated from the first reflective cup 122 andthe second reflective cup 124. The connection pad 126 may be made of aconductive material.

As shown in FIG. 1, the connection pad 126 may be positioned between thefirst reflective cup 122 and the second reflective cup 124. For example,the connection pad 126 may be positioned at the inside of the bottom 103of the main body cavity 105 adjacent to a third side surface of the mainbody cavity 105 between the first reflective cup 122 and the secondreflective cup 124. Other arrangements may also be appropriate.

At least a portion of the connection pad 126 may pass through the mainbody 110 and be exposed to the outside of the main body 110. Forexample, one end 146 of the connection pad 126 may pass through thethird side surface of the main body cavity 105 and be exposed to theoutside. In this exemplary arrangement, the third side surface of themain body 110 may be perpendicular with respect to the first and secondside surfaces of the main body 110 through which the ends 142 and 144 ofthe first and second reflective cups 122 and 124 pass.

The zener diode 150 may be provided on one of the first reflective cup122 or the second reflective cup 124 so as to improve breakdown voltageof the light emitting device package 100. As shown in FIG. 1, the zenerdiode 150 may be mounted on an upper surface 124-1 of the secondreflective cup 124. Other arrangements may also be appropriate.

FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the light emitting device package shown inFIG. 1, and FIGS. 3-6 are various side views of the light emittingdevice package shown in FIG. 1. With reference to FIGS. 2 to 6, a lowersurface 202 of the first reflective cup 122 is exposed at a lowersurface 107 of the main body 110, through an opening formed therein, andthe end 142 of the first reflective cup 122 protrudes from a first sidesurface 210 of the main body 110 and is exposed to the outside of themain body 110. A lower surface 204 of the second reflective cup 124 isalso exposed at the lower surface 107 of the main body 110, throughanother opening formed therein, and the end 144 of the second reflectivecup 124 protrudes from a second side surface 220 of the main body 110and is exposed to the outside of the main body 110. The end 146 of theconnection part 126 protrudes from a third side surface 230 of the mainbody 110 and is exposed to the outside of the main body 110. The exposedends 142 and 144 and the lower surfaces 202 and 204 of the first andsecond reflective cups 122 and 124 may allow heat generated by the firstlight emitting device 132 and the second emitting chip 134 to betransferred to the outside of the main body 110 and dissipated and thelight emitting device package to be cooled more efficiently.

The exposed ends 142 and 144 of the first and second reflective cups 122and 124 and the exposed end 146 of the connection part 126 may havevarious shapes, such as, for example, a rectangle, a square, a U shape,or other shape as appropriate. A thickness of each of the firstreflective cup 122, second reflective cup 124 and the connection pad 126may be, for example, approximately 200 um˜300 um, and a thickness of theexposed ends 142, 144, 146 may be 0.2 mm˜0.3 mm.

The first light emitting device 132 may be provided within the firstcavity 162 of the first reflective cup 122 and the second light emittingdevice 134 may be provided within the second cavity 164 of the secondreflective cup 124. That is, the first light emitting device 132 may bepositioned on the bottom of the first cavity 162 of the first reflectivecup 122 and the second light emitting device 134 may be positioned onthe bottom of the second cavity 164 of the second reflective cup 124.The first light emitting device 132 may be separated from the sidesurfaces of the first cavity 162 and the second light emitting device134 may be separated from the side surfaces of the second cavity 164. Alength of the first light emitting device 132 and a length of the secondlight emitting device 134 may be, for example, approximately 400 um˜1200um respectively. A width of the first light emitting device 132 and awidth of the second light emitting device 134 may be, for example,approximately 400 um˜1200 um respectively. A thickness of the firstlight emitting device 132 and a thickness of the second light emittingdevice 134 may be, for example, approximately 100 um˜200 umrespectively. For example, a chip size of the first light emittingdevice 132 and a chip size of the second light emitting device may be800 um×400 um. A thickness of the first light emitting device 132 and athickness of the second light emitting device may be 100 um×150 um.

The wires 152, 154, 156 and 158 may connect the first light emittingdevice 132 and the second light emitting device 134 via the connectionpad 126. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, The first wire 152 connectsthe first light emitting device 132 and the first reflective cup 122,the second wire 154 connects the first light emitting device 132 and theconnection pad 126, the third wire 156 connects the connection pad 126and the second light emitting device 134, and the fourth wire 158connects the second light emitting device 134 and the second reflectivecup 124. The second wire 154 may be bonded between the connection pad126 and the first light emitting device 132 and the third wire 156 maybe bonded between the connection pad 126 and the second light emittingdevice 134, thereby electrically connecting the first light emittingdevice 132 and the second light emitting device 134.

As shown in FIG. 1, the zener diode 150 may be mounted on the uppersurface 124-1 of the second reflective cup 124 and may be electricallyconnected to the first reflective cup 122 by the fifth wire 159. Forexample, one end of the fifth wire 159 may be bonded to the zener diode150 and the other end of the fifth wire 159 may be bonded to an uppersurface 122-1 of the first reflective cup 122. In alternativeembodiments, the zener diode 150 may be mounted on the upper surface122-1 of the first reflective cup 124, and one end of the fifth wire 159may be bonded to the zener diode 150 and the other end of the fifth wire159 may be bonded to the upper surface 124-1 of the second reflectivecup 124.

The connection pad 126 may be separated from the first reflective cup122 and the second reflective cup 124, thus being independent of thefirst light emitting device 132 and the second light emitting device134. This may allow the connection pad 126 to stably electricallyconnect the first light emitting device 132 and the second lightemitting device 134 in series, thereby improving electrical reliability.

As the first light emitting device 132 and the second light emittingdevice 134 emit light, they may also generate heat in the course ofoperation. The first reflective cup 122 may prevent heat generated bythe first light emitting device 132 from being radiated or transferredto the main body 110, and the second reflective cup 124 may prevent heatgenerated by the second light emitting device 134 from being radiated ortransferred to the main body 110. That is, the first reflective cup 122and the second reflective cup 124 may thermally separate the first lightemitting device 132 and the second light emitting device 134. Further,the first reflective cup 122 and the second reflective cup 124 mayprevent light emitted from the first light emitting device 132, andlight emitted from the second light emitting device 134, frominterfering with each other. Moreover, since the first reflective cup122 and the second reflective cup 124 are positioned at an inner bottomportion of the main body 110, thermal separation between the firstreflective cup 122 and the second reflective cup 124 may be improved andprevention of light interference between the first light emitting device132 and the second light emitting device 134 may be improved.

Consequently, in this embodiment, the first light emitting device 132 ispositioned within the first cavity 162 of the first reflective cup 122and the second light emitting device 134 is positioned within the secondcavity 164 of the second reflective cup 124, thereby being thermally andoptically separated from each other.

A resin injection hole 240 through which a resin may be injected intothe main body 110 may be formed on the lower surface 107 of the mainbody 110. The resin injection hole 240 may be located at a positionbetween the first reflective cup 122 and the second reflective cup 124.

FIG. 7 is a plan view of the light emitting device package shown inFIG. 1. In FIG. 7, simply for clarity convenience of description, thewires 152, 154, 156, 158 and 159 of FIG. 1 are omitted. As shown in FIG.7, the first reflective cup 122 and the second reflective cup 124 may beseparated by a designated distance D1, and the bottom of the main body110, which may be made of polyphthalamide (PPA), may have a portionthereof located therebetween.

In order to separate the heat sources (heat generated by operation ofthe first and second chips 132 and 134) and to effectively prevent lightinterference between the light emitting devices 132 and 134, theseparation distance D1 between the first reflective cup 122 and thesecond reflective cup 124 may be, for example, 100 μm or more. Otherseparation distances may also be appropriate, based on relative sizes ofthe related components.

Further, in order to effectively prevent light interference between thelight emitting devices 132 and 134 and to increase reflectionefficiency, the first light emitting device 132 may be positioned on thebottom of the first reflective cup 124 and separated from the sidesurfaces of the first reflective cup 122 by designated distances, andthe second light emitting device 134 may be positioned on the bottom ofthe second reflective cup 124 and separated from the side surfaces ofthe second reflective cup 124 by designated distances. Separationdistances from the first light emitting device 132 to opposite sidesurfaces of the first reflective cup 122 may be equal or unequal.Separation distances from the second light emitting device 134 toopposite side surfaces of the second reflective cup 124 may be equal orunequal.

For example, a pitch between the first light emitting device 132 mountedon the first reflective cup 122 and the second light emitting device 134mounted on the second reflective cup 124 may be 2 mm˜3 mm.

For example, the first light emitting device 132 may be mounted at thecenter of the bottom of the first reflective cup 122 and the secondlight emitting device 134 may be mounted at the center of the bottom ofthe second reflective cup 124.

In more detail, a separation distance D2 from a short side surface ofthe first reflective cup 122 to the first light emitting device 132 maybe, for example, 200 μm, and a separation distance D3 from a long sidesurface of the first reflective cup 122 to the first light emittingdevice 132 may be, for example, 500 μm. Other separation distances mayalso be appropriate, based on chip size relative to reflective cup size.

The connection pad 126 may be separated from both the first reflectivecup 122 and the second reflective cup 124 by a designated distance D4,and the bottom of the main body 110, which may be, made ofpolyphthalamide (PPA), may have a portion thereof located therebetween.

For example, the separation distance D4 between the first reflective cup122 and the connection pad 126 may be equal to the separation distanceD1 between the first reflective cup 122 and the second reflective cup124. Other separation distances may also be appropriate based onrelative sizes of the related components.

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A′ of the lightemitting device package shown in FIG. 7. In FIG. 8, simply for clarity,the wires 152, 154,156,158 and 159 are omitted.

As shown in FIG. 8, a tilt angle θ1 of the side surfaces of the firstreflective cup 122 may be different from a tilt angle of the sidesurfaces of the main body cavity 105. For example, the tilt angle θ1 ofthe side surfaces of the first reflective cup 122 with respect to thebottom of the first reflective cup 122 may be 90˜160°. Otherorientations may also be appropriate. A tilt angle θ2 of the sidesurfaces 102 of the main body cavity 105 with respect to the bottom 103of the main body cavity 105 may be, for example, 140˜170°.

The upper end of the side surface of the main body cavity 105 mayinclude a bent edge. That is, the side surface of the upper end of themain body cavity 105 may be bent. In more detail, the main body cavity105 may have an edge part 804 which is located between an upper surface802 of the main body 110 and the bottom 103. The edge part 804 may havea height difference K1 with the upper surface 802 of the main body 110,and may be parallel with the upper surface 802 of the main body 110. Forexample, the edge part 804 may be formed at the upper ends of the sidesurfaces 102 of the main body cavity 105.

The height difference K1 between the upper surface 802 of the main bodycavity 105 and the edge part 804 may be, for example. 50˜80 μm, and alength K2 of the edge part 804 may be 50˜130 μm. Other heights/lengthsmay also be appropriate, based on the dimensions of the relatedcomponents. Furthermore, the upper ends of the side surfaces 102 of themain body cavity 105 may have more than two edge parts, each having aheight difference so as to form a series of steps. Formation of the edgepart 804 having the height difference K1 with the upper surface 802 atthe upper ends of the side surfaces 102 of the main body cavity 105 maylengthen a gas infiltration route, thereby preventing external gas frominfiltrating the inside of the light emitting device package 100 andthus improving gas tightness of the light emitting device package 100.

In order to prevent light interference between the light emittingdevices 132 and 134 and to improve light reflection efficiency, a depthH of the first reflective cup 122 and the second reflective cup 124 maybe determined by taking into consideration a height of the lightemitting devices 132 and 134.

For example, as shown in FIG. 13a , the upper surface 122-1 of the firstreflective cup 122 may be parallel with the upper surface of the firstlight emitting device 132 mounted on the bottom 122-2 of the firstreflective cup 122. A depth H1 of the first reflective cup 122 may equalto a height a1 of the first light emitting device 132 (H1=a1). The depthH1 may be a distance between the upper surface 122-1 and the bottom122-2 of the first reflective cup 122. A depth of the second reflectivecup 124 relative to the height of the light emitting chip 134 in thisembodiment may be determined in a similar manner. In certainembodiments, the depth of the first reflective cup 122 may be equal tothe depth of the second reflective cup 124. Other heights of thereflective cups 122 and 124 and corresponding heights of the lightemitting devices 132 and 134 and combinations thereof may also beappropriate.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 13b , the upper surface 122-1 of thefirst reflective cup 122 is higher than the upper surface of the firstlight emitting device 132 mounted on the bottom 122-2 of the firstreflective cup 122. That is, a depth H2 of the first reflective cup 122is greater than a height al of the first light emitting device 132(H2>a1). In certain embodiments, the depth H2 of the first reflectivecup 122 may be greater than the height a1 of the first light emittingdevice 132 and less than twice the height a1 of the first light emittingdevice 132 (a1<H2<2a1). A depth of the second reflective cup 124relative to the light emitting chip 134 in this embodiment may bedetermined in a similar manner.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 13c , the upper surface 122-1 of thefirst reflective cup 122 is lower than the upper surface of the firstlight emitting device 132 mounted on the bottom 122-2 of the firstreflective cup 122. A depth H3 of the first reflective cup 122 is lessthan a height al of the first light emitting device 132 (H3<a1). Incertain embodiments, the depth H3 of the first reflective cup 122 may beless than the height a1 of the first light emitting device 132 andgreater than half the height a1 of the first light emitting device 132(a1/2<H3<a1). A height of the second reflective cup 124 relative to thelight emitting chip 134 in this embodiment may be determined in asimilar manner.

FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line B-B′ of the lightemitting device package shown in FIG. 7. In FIG. 9, the wires 152, 154,156, 158 and 159 are omitted, simply for clarity. As shown in FIG. 9,the upper surface of the connection pad 126 may be substantiallyparallel with the upper surfaces of the first reflective cup 122 and thesecond reflective cup 124, and the end 146 of the connection pad 126 mayform a portion of the bottom of the main body 110 as it passes throughthe third side surface 230 of the main body 110 and is exposed to theoutside of the main body 110.

In the light emitting device package 100 in accordance with thisembodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the inside of the main body cavity 105may be filled with an encapsulation material 820 so as to seal andprotect the first light emitting device 132 and the second lightemitting device 134.
